Dandy is a 7 year old Mix-Breed in Groveport, OH, who needs $6,000 for Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy.

Dandy came into my life from a family friend. Their dogs had a litter of dogs and they were trying to find good homes, and I happen to have an open spot. I took him home at 3 months old, and has been at my side for almost 8 years now! He even comes to work with me at the doggy daycare!

With Dandy being so active and getting up there in age, it was inevitable that his CCL would he torn. It happened while I was on vacation while in the care with my parents, but I have noticed that his back legs seemed to be getting weaker even before that. My parents took him to MedVet near their house for the initial diagnosis, and then I took him to the MedVet surgical center to get more info.

Dandy is so, so spoiled with all the people and dogs that love him! When I bring him into work, the front desk people battle it out who gets to give him treats! My roommate get upset when I bring him with me as I spend the weekend with my parents. If I don't bring him, my parents' and brothers' first words are, "Where's the boy?!" He have so many doggy friends at the daycare I work at too!

I literally do not have the money for this surgery. Dandy is an epileptic yet active dog, playing fetch at home and playing with the big dogs at work, that he needs to be back on his feet nice and healthy asap. His seizures gets worse if he does not have enough stimulation.
